The Sweetest Mom

posted by Jennifer Ramirez, April 25, 2011

My Mom is as sweet as they come! She is a mother to 4 sons and 3 daughters and 13 grandchildren! My mother is an amazing role model who shows her children daily the meaning of unconditional love. My father is in the late stages of Alzheimer's and needs round the clock care with daily activities like brushing his teeth, getting dressed, and eating. My Mom retired from her nursing job to take care of my father full time. This is a difficult task that often times keeps my Mom housebound and puts her needs on the back burner. My mother has always been the rock that holds my family together. Attached is a picture of my Mom and Dad at the Del Mar Race Track; a yearly summer escape that they would attend before Dad's illness became too severe. I, along with my 2 sisters, would love to give my Mom a brief break, thank her for her unconditional love, and celebrate Mother's Day with her over a well deserved relaxing breakfast.
